"Merz' militaristische Rhetorik nehme ständig zu & er brüste sich damit, die Verfassung geändert zu haben, um Deutschland militärisch wieder zu einer Großmacht machen zu können, ... "Wenn ein Mensch, dessen Land faschistische und nazistische Verbrechen, den Holocaust und den Genozid begangen hat, davon redet, dass Deutschland wieder eine militärische Großmacht werden solle, dann hat er Gedächtnisschwund – und das ist sehr gefährlich."
Russlands Außenminister Lawrow vor der UN-Generalversammlung
Der Gedanke, dass Deutschland militärische Großmacht werden will, erfüllt mich schon deshalb in große Sorgen, weil die Merz-Regierung mit ihrer desaströsen Politik ständig die faschistische AfD stärkt, anstatt sie zu bekämpfen. Michel Friedman ist deshalb zutiefst besorgt, dass Deutschland in 10 Jahren wieder zur faschistischen Diktatur werden könnte. Ich teile seine Sorgen.

Hey #electronics hive mind, can I have your help please? We have a set of LED fairy lights with a little control module that has 8 modes, and we only use the 8th one, "constantly on". We'd like to fix it so it always comes on fixed in constant mode. Don't care about the other modes at all. I can see there are two channels - powering alternate LEDs on the rope, which are switched by two transistors, controlled by a chip under a resin blob. I tried bridging the bases of the transistors, but that just made the LEDs flicker. So I'm wondering if it's safe to just bypass them entirely by bridging the emitter and collector? As far as I can tell, the LEDs are being driven by raw 240v DC, coming straight out of a bridge rectifier from the mains. As the LEDs are in series, the village drop compounds, hence the high voltage. My reasoning is that if I bridge the transistors, the power will just go straight to both channels... But my understanding is pretty basic... If it helps here are two pics of both sides of the board. Yes, I know it's janky - I have plans to at least anchor the wires, but not until I've fixed this issue. (Sorry forgot to add images, done now)
So…this is it. The end of everything as we know it. The escalation that we’ve feared.
“Full force.”
Portland is about to become ground zero for live rounds and the civil war between fascism and everything that is good.
I’m very, very frightened for what is upon us here. In my own backyard, where kids are playing and people are walking by the river. The propaganda is insanity.
Please, whatever you do, stay safe. And don't forget to check in with us who are many miles away and worried. Be strong when you are able and lean on friends when you need rest.✊
there is a let out there. "all necessary troops" means NONE. A bit like a "well-regulated" militia, which would require gun-nuts to report for 2 months unpaid military training each year to learn the regulations, bone-spurs or not.
Last time we had a big bubble burst (2008, the subprime crisis), the investment dollars piled into commodities like grain futures that were perceived as "safe". Result: 1-2 years later crop prices soared—a major contributory factor if not THE trigger for the Arab Spring in 2011 and the Syrian and Libyan civil wars.
This time I expect they'll try and boost fossil fuel assets (to support the AI data centres that are going bust, natch). Cynical, moi? mastodon.social/@nixCraft/1152…

È scomparso oggi Enzo Osella, fondatore della storica scuderia piemontese. Da meccanico appassionato a costruttore, seppe trasformare un sogno in realtà, portando in pista le sue vetture contro i giganti della Formula 1.
i popped into the occult bookstore that opened up recently in my neighborhood and it was cute and it was fun to look around, but i'm a little disappointed by the in retrospect obvious irony of their selection mostly being fairly accessible if dubious self help books and not so much weird reference books on obscure topics. i got a cool looking iron key though
@celestia well the problem is i want the kind of occult book store that sells things like jung's red book and goethe's theory of colors, and the other problem is i already know what store sells stuff like that and it's amazon
Oh last winter I ran into a street seller, second hand books. An improvised bookshop that appeared out of nowhere. I started checking out what he has, mostly classics with fading covers, decades old. After taking a good look at me he reached deep into a cardboard box and took out a book I had never heard of before. "I think you will like it" he said solemnly, so I bought it and took it home, forgetting all about it until around May. I opened it and it was the crapiest novel I ever read.

The President of the United States claims to have authorized the military to use lethal force on US citizens, and there’s not a single Republican who has the balls to tell him that’s both illegal and morally wrong. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrh…
Windows 10 lebt nach dem 14.10.2025 weiter: Das #Supportende wird verschoben.
Allerdings gibt es einen Haken.
Entgegen erster Berichte kann nicht jeder bedingungsfrei Windows 10 um ein weiteres Jahr bis 2026 nutzen. Dennoch sehen Verbraucherschutzorganisationen zumindest einen ersten Erfolg - der noch viel weiter ausgebaut werden muss.
Das Radikale Ende von Windows 10 zugunsten des Nachfolgers scheint vom Tisch - oder doch nicht? Microsoft hat Zugeständnisse gemacht, die das Leben vom beliebten Windows 10 Betriebssystem verlängern.

“Esistono molti pianeti, ma solo un'economia!” ... ha scherzato una volta la rivista satirica tedesca “Der Postillon”, centrando perfettamente il punto.

My partner thinks he isn’t good at art, but he is! He does fun little drawings all the time and while he doesn’t consider that ‘art’ I think he’d enjoy something like a simple doodle-a-day prompt system for a holiday gift
I’m looking for recommendations on a sketchbook, some quality pens or markers and maybe a prompt book, zine or website I could sign him up for
My focus is quilting and I don’t know much about drawing so boosts and any ideas are welcome!
Trump is ordering the military to kill people in Portland who resist fascism. Those are unlawful orders and every soldier has a legal obligation to refuse them. They swear an oath to the constitution not the president.
Soldiers have a duty to disobey orders that are unlawful. It is not insubordination to do so, it is a constitutionally mandated act and an act of courage. Troops must not harm civilians, doing so is illegal and they know it. Remember the My Lai Massacre and the Nuremberg Trials.
International and US law is clear: troops must obey lawful orders ONLY.
An unlawful order is not binding, and following it can itself be criminal. US doctrine and practice reject “just following orders” if the soldier knew or should have known act was unlawful.
The oath in the US is to the Constitution, not to blindly obey leaders. As the Law of War Manual says:
"members of the armed forces are bound to obey only the lawful orders"
"You have rights in the military, though commands often say you don't, and often push back when you use them. The regulations are often on your side; they allow you to speak out about your ideas and beliefs, to post about them on social media or in the press, to join in demonstrations, to complain to your Member of Congress about military policies and practices..."

As Dylan says: Every member of the military is legally required to disobey an unlawful order. Remember your oath to the constitution and to the American people.
Before things get a lot worse, which it looks like they’re about to do given Trump’s “full force” order and his “anti-fascism is terrorism” executive memo, I need to reiterate:
It’s lies. This shit about Portland? It’s all lies.
The lies about Seattle were lies too. Particularly reviving the old lie that “they” “took over a significant percentage of the city” back in 2020. Remember when I posted a map showing the three blocks and a park that were the entire protest zone? And how it was 0.0something percent of the city? How it was basically the equivalent of a guy and a yappy dog on the corner of a Walmart parking lot, and how on a full map of the city the red rectangle was literally too small to see?
Remember that?
It’s lies about Portland now. I know people in Portland. I know people who are in Portland RIGHT NOW, for the weekend.
It. Is. All. Lies.
If you don’t believe me, believe Tess Vigeland, a Wall Street Journal senior producer who lives in Portland. The Wall Street Journal is not exactly a “left” publication and doesn’t exactly employ “radical leftists.” I quote her here in entirety:
“He is lying. They are lying. They are literally making this shit up. I live four blocks from the ICE facility they say is a “war zone.” I pass it every single day on my way home. There are, on average, maybe 30 protesters who’ve camped out (they have a small grill) and set up tents. Sometimes more show up on the weekend. They use bullhorns to shout invective at the building and it’s been awful for the residents who live across the street and noise laws should be enforced. But the notion that this city of 600,000 people is a war zone is completely laughable. CNN has a photo from September 1st on its story about this that makes it seem like the city is, indeed, under siege (and that’s part of the problem, images that don’t tell a complete story). But the idea that they needed that kind of show of force is insane. Would I like the protesters to go away? As a neighbor, yup. Do they have the right to set up a tent city outside the facility? Probably — but again, it’s annoying. Does Portland have myriad problems that a maddeningly ineffective local government seems unable to solve no matter how much tax money we throw at it? Yup. But does any of it call for federal troops fanning out across the city? Absolutely not. It’s stupid. This is all for show by an authoritarian administration that knows its base will applaud because oooooh lookie a liberal city getting its due. (I have relatives who will applaud this, by the way.) But they’re lying. They’re all LYING.”
Tess Vigeland, The Wall Street Journal
If you don’t believe her? There are plenty of webcams. Here’s Pioneer Square in downtown Portland as I write this right now: I won’t even point you to more webcams. Use DuckDuckGo or something. Find them on your own. It’s easy.
Find any cam you want. Look at them for yourself. Tell any Trumpy relatives you have to do the same thing. Look. See.
He is lying. They are lying. They are literally making this shit up. I live four blocks from the ICE facility they say is a "war zone." I pass it every single day on my way home. There are, on...
Black mirror is so good at what it does that I can't even watch it due to how uncomfortable it makes me feel. I have never seen a show or movie do that to me. Horror movies are children shows in comparison to Black Mirror, real nightmare fuel.

Maybe ICE agents act like complete assclowns because of all the retained CO2 from the masks right? /s
These fucking guys wouldn’t wear masks literally to save their lives in 2020 because they bitched and moaned about them being too constricting, and retained CO2, and face infections. Now they can’t seem to take the masks off.

Nah bro! Get it twisted! We‘ve never been doing as much to halt climate change as now (globally), renewables have never been cheaper, resilience has never been more accessible.
There‘s a lot to do, a small thing today can save thousands of future lives. Try creating something to save yourself today and sharing online, godspeed bro!
Premiums for Obamacare are about to go sky high unless subsidies are extended, millions will lose their healthcare, and this is what Trump tells Dems who want to sit down and negotiate.
I already lost health care when on several trips to the ER with life-threatening brain injury, I'm accused of being manipulative and sent to the mental ward.
I fear I may die from lack of proper care, and they usually dont believe me when I say "I feel I am having stroke-like symptoms" following head trauma.
I'm getting ducked out of living life whether I like it or not. Might as well go rogue. No pity parties needed. Pity the children who have to clean up his mess.
Almost every MAGA supporter I know where I live is on some form of government health insurance, and many of them need it to live. They also get various forms of HUD, low-income assistance, and food stamps.
crazy thing is if they all lost that today right now they'd blame Biden and still vote trump to theri very lsat breath.
Democrats are just making this a talking point. They know Trump and republicans won't agree to it, but driving it into the ground only gives Trump and republicans ammunition to blame democrats for the shutdown when Trump wants th3 shutdown to fire federal employees. Trump sent notice to agencies to have a plan with the shutdown to only keep minimal number of employees and fire the rest. I agree with democrats but it's a loss cause they should just let it go and do nothing. Don't give Trump his ammunition.
